Sorry if this has been covered... Just looking to omit some nonsense from my coin collecting life.  I have never had to do this before.

Hover over their username until the popup shows buttons at bottom: Message, Find Content, Ignore. Choose Ignore and check the resulting boxes for all that you wish to ignore from them. This won't make them vanish from your world like Faceblocking someone, but it will thereafter require you to click to choose to see their hidden posts. Of course, when people respond to them and quote all their useless male_cattle_droppings, you'll still be seeing said droppings. Won't that be fun?

Indeed it is fun to see the excrement of ignored members pop up from time to time like the Ghost of Excrement Past.  :whatthe:  Not really, but I guess it's a fact of life around here, sadly.

It's good to cut the BS as much as you can, Neo.  I've had to do some of that myself.  It's a good step and it makes your NGC Boards experience far more pleasant (thumbsu

Good to know sir, on a more serious note it is unfortunate that you needed to block a member.  I have done that only once myself and that member no longer participates here so not an issue for me any longer.   I try and respect all the opinions that are voiced here but I do understand that it can make the forum a more enjoyable experience exercising that option when the need arises.

I agree with you 100%.  I am new to this, but I spend a lot of time studying.  I have learned a lot from the experts on this forum, and I haven't scratched the surface of this hobby.  Not trying to be nasty at all... but if one is clearly being routinely nonsensical, irrational or just refuses to be accurate - I don't have time for that person.  

Bicker or block?  I choose block.

I've blocked more than my fair share since I started here in 2010.  Mostly trolls (man, have we had A LOT of trolls) but also some people who just couldn't stop with the politics and, in one case, a religious whackadoodle.  In all cases, it made my experience here much better.  The Internet is like any other area of life, you're going to meet up with some jerks and some people that you just don't mesh well with.  It happens.

I don't generally ignore anything but bots, but I also don't feel the need to engage.

I try not to engage or promote the madness . I do get upset that there are people who use the members expertise for unethical practices and also misleading new members, but I cant change there actions or comments, unfortunately .

This is true, JP.  To that list I'd add people who try to exploit the knowledge of the members here to make a buck selling coins without gaining the years of knowledge needed to do so successfully for themselves.

I have only had to block myself twice. Didn’t help. Now the cats tell me they block me all the time and it works pretty well 🙀

In all seriousness. Collect what you like. Block who you need to. What most of us find is that we learn from each other we disagree with each other but understand the need to respect each other. So with that ,on this Thanksgiving eve, I am thankful for you all,  Bless you and yours Jzyskowski and cats🤠🐈

I love the sentiment, James.  And I share it wholeheartedly.  Blessed be everyone, from myself, my fiancée and our box turtle and plakat betta .

That's bad having to block yourself, and having to do it TWICE!  Good grief what were you doing?  :)
